The Japanese who passed the New York state bar exam this time entered the LLM of a university without studying law in his home country, and for some reason he was transferred to JD after that, and finally passed the examination on the third attempt. Many Japanese people have doubts about this fact, so I hope that you will take up this issue from the perspective of the American people. There is no doubt that viewers from Japan will be interested and the number of TH-cam views will increase explosively, so please consider it.

I was in some criminal justice classes in college but now I just turned 26 and haven’t got a college degree yet It would be a life long dream to become a lawman . My grandfather is a retired CO and grew up around him talking about the law and famous inmates that he has met. Still debating if this is right for me . in highschool English was my best topic, the only thing stopping me from pursuing this is myself . Thank you for this video and relighting my insights .
Thank you for this, it was easy to understand. I’m 14 and I have decided I wanted to be a lawyer I have been always been interested in law and teaching. I’m right now with my highschool doing an associates degree program and trying to figure out what would be the next steps after highschool. Thank you
Hey! I’m currently in middle school and I have my mind set on being a lawyer! I’m in M.E.R.I.T. Which is a gifted program with only 4 classes per grade for it. And I argue well so my parents say I would make a great lawyer. I’m a great person and I listen to teachers ect. I’m going to go to a really good university and then go to law school once I graduate I think it will be amazing money and a cool job and a nice house and two golden retrievers I don’t know if I will pass first time around but I def will try law school
Don’t do it for the money or you will be miserable. Go talk to lawyers and see what we do. You don’t want to spend your life in a nice home and hating your job.
im 17 and just graduated highschool, gonna do everything i can in college to gget into a good law school and im not gonna say its my dream because i know im gonna do it and study for it because the end goal will be so sweet.
In college, make sure to take courses that force you to analyze issues. These tend to me in some history courses and philosophy courses. They help expand your mind, which will help you in law school.
I got the book “getting to maybe” I’m planning on both being a lawyer and a doctor. I’m planning on getting multiple degrees and doctorates. But that’s just me. I also plan on going into the military after getting my first two degrees (planning on double majoring for both my law and medical degrees). And than after getting perhaps a masters in both I will go into military. (Should take me around 5-6 years, if I’m capable counting residency for being a medical doctor of course, and perhaps an apprenticeship with a law firm if that’s possible, but not necessary of course). Maybe just get a Juris Doctor degree in law, and an md so that I can become a general practitioner doctor.
"Accelerated law school program" that's how you can do it. I'm going to see what Florida law school(s) have this. .... There are only 3 of them in the whole state (Nova is not one of them)
I have a question, I’m an active duty military member, how hard would it be for someone like me once I transition back to the civilian world to go to law school?
Several of my students were former active military. One told me that she was leading a convoy when they came under fire in Iraq. This former soldier was confident and well disciplined-great traits for a lawyer.

Hi guys! I'm a teen right now and I don't know what I want to be in life. Ever since I was 6 years old I always wanted to be a pilot, then I dreamed of being a lawyer, doctor or just be a businessman. I hope I find my true calling soon
For now, keep exploring. The best way to do that is by reading great literature, which will expand your mind. Read Plato’s dialogues if you’ve never read them before.
This is very interesting and makes me wish I had done more with my life. I realize at 24, it could still be done. It is a little more difficult since I have wasted the last six years of my life. It is certainly something to think about. Is there any chance you can continue this with a part II? What usually happens once a person becomes a lawyer? I am sure they don't immediately start their own law firm. How does the career path usually work? At what point does a person decide if they want to become a criminal lawyer or civil lawyer? It appears there are many opportunities as a lawyer.
@@rigobatiancila5824 yeah i’m 13 too at the moment and i really want to become one, kind of odd lol. i’ve always wanted to fight against criminal injustice and help those in need. it is my dream and i hope it doesn’t die out.
Can you make a video on international students who want to study law in the US? Should you do a llm or if you haven't done your llb you should do your JD? What if you have already done JD in your country should you pursue a JD in US?

I have to work my pathway to get to the states and become a citizen, enter law school, pass the bar and become a LAWYER. I DUNNO HOW ID DO IT BUT IM POSITIVE THAT SOMEHOW I CAN DO IT. I CAN PERCEIVE IT THEN I CAN MAKE IT. HOPEFULLY!
So I'm 13 in 8th grade, and I want to be a doctor, or an astrophysicist, or a lawyer. I am extremely confused what to do but I'm just going to bring my grades up for now XD
Hello! First of all I would like to thank you for creating these whole series of law school related videos😊 It really helped me a lot! I'm a university student in South Korea who is considering going to a law school in States so the information that I can get access to are sadly relatively limited :( Anyways, If you don't mind, there are a few questions that I would like to ask. I know that the two most important factors in getting into a lawschool are your LSAT score & GPA but are there any extra-curricular activities that you believe would benefit in terms of applying or maybe even getting through the law school years? Also, I already took a semester off(this was basically to rest) and I'm currently planning to take one more for an internship. Do you think that it will be still worth to have some sort of work experience while graduating a year late compared to other students? Thank you so much in advance! (P.S I'm a non-native speaker so there might be some mistakes. Hope you'll understand it)
First, thanks for watching--glad that the videos are helping non-English speakers! Taking some time off to work is a great idea because it takes into account brain development. Human brains don't fully develop until we reach the age of 25. So by taking some time off after college, you are allowing your brain to get closer to peak development. Also, having some work experience will allow you to make more connections to the law--it will be less theoretical for you. As to extracurricular activities, many people do college debate. This can help you with developing research skills and learning to think quickly. Also, you need to practice your English. This means reading as much as you can and also writing. I've seen many foreign students fail because they just can't keep up with the reading, or on a timed exam not being able to write quickly enough.
Professor, why do they not do the charcter and fitness thing first when a undergraduate who has earned their degree first and applies to law school it seems more logical and practical? Disclaimer: what I wrote here today is not legal advice of any kind whatsoever, it is not intended to be was not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as such. I am not a lawyer. I have never and would never claim to be one.
Because there is no guarantee that someone will graduate from law school. Also, many law students don’t know what State in which they plan to take the bar exam. Finally, if there are issues, each state bar would need to determine whether the problem should keep someone from practicing law. A few states have allowed convicted murderers to join the bar.
Make sure that you understand how legal education works in your country. For example, in many civil law countries you need to focus on memorization skills.
Political science does not provide the skills needed for a legal education. And that’s okay. If you enjoy the material, you will likely earn better grades, which will help you when applying to law school.
Does your dream also include a truck load of paper work every week, which new load coming in every day, you might be consider a warehouse manager and lawyer

Recently accepted into BA Law & Justice in Canada and then working towards being accepted into a Juris Doctor program! Great video! Edit: Can you take some time and look into the Ontario, Canadian system and compare it to the USA system?
Being Canadian, I’m also planning to apply JD in Canada, especially dual JD program at Windsor Law. I’m trying digging into the difference between two systems but couldn’t find much about it.
Ok. So what does the "bar exam" include? Just the demonstation of theoretical knowledge or the solution of cases? A 3-days test is rather short. How many hours does each day's test take? Is there an oral exam in addition to that?
Great and informative video! For those applicants who have graduate degrees, do law schools consider graduate degrees (and graduate GPAs) when determining student admissions? Or, do they only consider undergraduate degrees and undergraduate GPAs when determining student admissions?
The only GPA that is examined is undergraduate GPA. However, a law school will look at a graduate degree if the law school is very selective in whom they admit (e.g., Yale and Harvard), or also at students with marginal grades and an improved track record in a graduate program.
Two eyes give you better depth perception. Doesn’t make it difficult to read. By the way, there have been many successful people with only one eye: President Theodore Roosevelt, actor Johnny Depp, and singer Sammy Davis Jr.
Thank you so much!! I loved the tip that you gave 6:23 Can you please make a video with advice like that? I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in law, but I’m kind of intimidated because I don’t know what path to really take. I come from a poor family so I don’t really have anyone to help me with this kind of stuff. First video I watched of yours and I’m already subscribed:)
The key is to keep learning as much as you can about the law and law school. The more you learn, the more you can determine if becoming a lawyer is right for you. In the US there are several "value" law schools, where someone can attend for a low price. Some of my students this year are paying nothing for their legal education as they work a few hours at the university to cover their tuition.
I'm worried I'm in middle school and I have had my heart set on becoming a lawyer, but I don't really have good grades I'm only in middle school though does it matter?
Hey Learn Law Better, I plan on taking do my Undergraduate in Aussie and then hopefully do law school in the states. Do you think it’s worth doing a Bachelor of Law (LLB) in aussie and then do JD in the states? Or just do a degree that I’m interested in strong at (based on high school results)
While having an LLB might give you an advantage in your JD, I think you’ll get bored with what is essentially the same degree twice. I tutor students in Australia and our two legal systems are practically the same.
@@Learnlawbetter Are there requirements taking law if you're just an international student from a certain country? Does the requirements of application varies?
I've got a question sir. After graduating high school i went to a two year college and failed my entire first year and was placed on academic suspension. A couple years ago i applied for academic clemency and was granted it. i now have a 3.5 but would this affect me negatively when applying to law school? I still have a couple years before i get to that point but i just wanted to make sure.
Wait, I don't understand. First you graduate high school (withIGCSE and A levels), then you go to college to earn s bachelor degree, you take the LSAT, you enter a law school, you take the bar test, and you're s lawyer? I thought you took the LSAT and then went to a law collage. So, you go to collage and study whatever and then you go to a thing called law school?
Yes, in the US and Canada, law school is a graduate program. In most other countries law school is an undergraduate program that you complete after high school. Australia is currently transitioning to the American model.

The only GPA that is examined is undergraduate GPA. However, a law school will look at a graduate degree if the law school is very selective in whom they admit (e.g., Yale and Harvard), or also at students with marginal grades and an improved track record in a graduate program.
@@Learnlawbetter , thank you for your reply! The info is very useful!
aye aye captain!
May I ask what law school and college you went to?
Does your high-school GPA matter much?
Not in the US as law schools don’t ask for high school GPA.
@@Learnlawbetter Ah well perfect for me, thank you
Deathstroke quit and became lawyer … seems like a good turn . Everybody can change
Meanwhile for me: three year LLB with no unnecessary and gruelling undergraduate degree, admissions process, LSAT or bar exam 👍
Is it hard to read all those law books and pleadings with only one eye?
Two eyes give you better depth perception. Doesn’t make it difficult to read. By the way, there have been many successful people with only one eye: President Theodore Roosevelt, actor Johnny Depp, and singer Sammy Davis Jr.
Did you miss the apprenticeship part?
In the US that isn’t required.
Would ptsd from the army or having a ged exclude you from being a lawyer I had a 32 on my ACT but chose the army instead of college
What are my law school admission options if I have a low undergraduate GPA?
It will depend on your LSAT score. The higher the score the more options you will have.
Test probably looks for honesty
3:37 two years?! How sir? I'm in South Florida will Nova South Eastern University let me do it (finish law school) in two years?
Only a few law schools offer this option-not possible at every law school. The few that have this option advertise it heavily.
@@Learnlawbetter yeah I just them
Thank you so much!! I loved the tip that you gave 6:23 Can you please make a video with advice like that? I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in law, but I’m kind of intimidated because I don’t know what path to really take. I come from a poor family so I don’t really have anyone to help me with this kind of stuff. First video I watched of yours and I’m already subscribed:)
The key is to keep learning as much as you can about the law and law school. The more you learn, the more you can determine if becoming a lawyer is right for you. In the US there are several "value" law schools, where someone can attend for a low price. Some of my students this year are paying nothing for their legal education as they work a few hours at the university to cover their tuition.
?????? How do you know when you decide you want to be a lawyer
Love From K Min ❤️ Indiaan
Hi....I'm also from India 🇮🇳♥.....Ur thinking of studying law in the USA 🇺🇸?
I'm worried I'm in middle school and I have had my heart set on becoming a lawyer, but I don't really have good grades I'm only in middle school though does it matter?
In the US, the only grades that matter are college grades.
@@Learnlawbetter thank you i was worried
While it is useful to have a ged or hs diploma, it is not necessary to be admitted into college. At least not here in California...?
Every college sets its own standards. The normal is a GED or HS diploma, but in certain circumstances that can be waived pretty much anywhere.
What for international student with a degree of dentistry?
You will need to go to law school, but law schools don’t care much about your college degree. They will look at your LSAT score and GPA.
@@Learnlawbetter oh wow. Thank you.
I’m 12 and already know what I wanna be. Ig I’m smarter than most kid or more mature. I be over here looking up my future lol
Hey Learn Law Better,
I plan on taking do my Undergraduate in Aussie and then hopefully do law school in the states. Do you think it’s worth doing a Bachelor of Law (LLB) in aussie and then do JD in the states? Or just do a degree that I’m interested in strong at (based on high school results)
While having an LLB might give you an advantage in your JD, I think you’ll get bored with what is essentially the same degree twice. I tutor students in Australia and our two legal systems are practically the same.
Good morning I'm am there's for morning class
season 2 twd kenny 😍😍
When taking llm in the United States, does LSAT also required for that program? Thank You
No, you don’t need the LSAT for the LLM.
@@Learnlawbetter Are there requirements taking law if you're just an international student from a certain country? Does the requirements of application varies?
Ty
Each law school will have its own requirements.
I've got a question sir. After graduating high school i went to a two year college and failed my entire first year and was placed on academic suspension. A couple years ago i applied for academic clemency and was granted it. i now have a 3.5 but would this affect me negatively when applying to law school? I still have a couple years before i get to that point but i just wanted to make sure.
In the United States these decisions are made by LSAC, the organization that administers the LSAT. I don’t know how they handle this.
@@Learnlawbetter thank you regardless though!
I didn't even go to high school and I'm one step away from becoming a lawyer. Don't make obstacles for yourself. You're going to be fine.
Wait, I don't understand. First you graduate high school (withIGCSE and A levels), then you go to college to earn s bachelor degree, you take the LSAT, you enter a law school, you take the bar test, and you're s lawyer? I thought you took the LSAT and then went to a law collage. So, you go to collage and study whatever and then you go to a thing called law school?
Yes, in the US and Canada, law school is a graduate program. In most other countries law school is an undergraduate program that you complete after high school. Australia is currently transitioning to the American model.
Once I got a friend bout of a bad situation and had to prove his innocence at 11, I’ve had some practice 🤣🤣
I'm only 12 and i really really really want to be a lawyer :(
Welcome! My son is 12.
Well 🤔🤔 good luck
Me as well
